Society's Choices: Social and Ethical Decision Making in Biomedicine
- Share to:
During the past 30 years, social and ethical issues in biomedicine have vaulted to prominence, prompting public debate and deep reflection by governmental commissions, professional societies, and community organizations. The issues have at times demanded immediate public attention, as in the case of abuse of human research subjects, and, at other times, more gradually raised public concern, as have the possibilities provided by advances in genetic technology. More and more, the ethical implications of such issues as health care delivery and commercialization of biotechnology are being examined in a public fashion. Despite the increasing activity in this area, however, there has been little systematic study of the various social processes through which we subject the ethical and social issues in medicine and biotechnology to debate and analysis.
